Mostly no... with a very few exceptions... the Find, Replace, REFind and REReplace 
functions are case sensitive -- and have FindNoCase, ReplaceNOCase, REFindNoCase and 
REReplaceNoCase counterparts for case insensitive string manip... which I try to 
always use... and hash() creates a mask which -- the mask is all hexadecimal, so it's 
all upper-case, but the value being encrypted is case sensitive, so "A" will produce a 
different hash than "a". Variable names in CF are always case insensitive -- in CFMX 
you can however get the keys in a structure to be mixed-case (in cf5 they're allways 
upper) by using array-notation... which is kind of a strange and obscure sort of 
abberation I believe resulting from the change from a C++ pcode interpreter to a J2EE 
server.
